the food

“It was insane to me that I got all of that for 15 euros; best steak I ever had,” said Storm.

(top middle) For the first night, Storm ate the classic French dish, escargot for dinner.

“They were really good,” Storm said. “I had snails before, but I wanted to eat them of course in Paris. It’s a classic.”

“That was super exciting because that was one of the things I was like, ‘If I’m going to try it, I’m going to try it in Paris,” said Storm.

Storm said that the macaroons were really good but she was unsure if they would still be good anywhere but Paris.

(bottom left) One of Storm’s favorite places that they stopped at was a cute restaurant that she said was famous for its gelato.

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream and it is denser than typical ice cream.

Storm said that many of her fondest memories of the trip were when she would find little shops like this one that weren’t apart of the mainstream tourist attractions. (bottom right) On an independent exursion, Storm took some time for herself and ordered a tasty breakfast while reading a book.

“The toast dipped in the eggs was my favorite part of this breakfast. I’ve never had eggs that way,” said Storm.
